You won’t believe how much Michael Jackson’s SOCKS are expected to make at auction – All 4 Women

Michael Jackson’s socks are expected to sell for over $1 million (R15 million)at auction
The late Thriller hitmaker – who died in 2009 aged 50 – donned the custom crystal stockings the first time he showed off his famous moonwalk during a performance of Billie Jean in 1983 TV special Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever and they are going under the hammer under the next few weeks.
Auction site Gottahaverockandroll.com are offering the socks as part of their Frank DiLeo collection and they come with a signed letter from Michael to the late music executive – who signed the Bad singer to Epic Records and managed him from 1984 to 1989 – presenting the gift to him as a token of appreciation for keeping the star on his “toes” throughout his ‘Victory Tour’.
The package – that also comes with a certificate of authenticity and a letter from Frank’s wife confirming that Michael wore them for his moonwalk debut – is expected to fetch a seven-figure sum of up to $2 million (R30 million)
Fans who don’t have the cash to splash out on the socks can also look to other lots for a rare piece of Michael memorabilia, as also up for sale will be original gold and platinum awards for Thriller, Dangerous, Bad, This Is It and Off the Wall, and a prop sign used in the 1988 film Moonwalker.
The auction runs from November 13-22. (article continues below) Other All4Women readers liked…
Meanwhile, Michael’s eldest son, 22-year-old Prince recently reflected on his dad’s legendary music career, and admitted that, despite finding it difficult to choose a stand-out track, he does have his favourites.
He added: “One of my favourite songs… is Man in the Mirror because it’s such a great call to action, you know, everybody can get behind. It is like, ‘If you really want to make a change for the world, you need to change yourself first and you need to really look within and see yourself for who you actually are’.”
